Identity & lore

Lineage overview

Wolf-folk are a distinguished subrace of Chimera, inhabiting the rugged snowy peaks of Mt. Merlin and extending their presence to the vast expanses of Susururu Forest, where the largest populations thrive. These resilient beings have developed a predatory instinct that enables them to meticulously hone in on and swiftly eliminate their prey, striking decisively when they detect any sign of weakness. Renowned as some of the finest hunters in the realm, Wolf-folk sustain themselves by thriving on nature's bounty, establishing and maintaining small, tightly-knit villages among their own kind. Their exceptional hunting prowess is complemented by their remarkable teamwork; Wolf-folk excel in collaborating with trusted allies, skillfully exploiting any openings their companions create to maximize their effectiveness in both combat and survival scenarios.

The hunting skill of Wolf-folk is highly esteemed, particularly their animal furs, which are considered the best in the realm. These furs are meticulously prepared and sought after by merchants who journey to the remote, forested, and mountainous villages where Wolf-folk reside. The quality and durability of their furs make them invaluable commodities, enhancing the reputation of Wolf-folk artisans across Lyr. Despite their isolated habitats, the Wolf-folk maintain a robust network of trade and interaction with outside merchants, ensuring that their villages remain prosperous and their skills highly regarded. Players that want to play keen hunters who work well with others would enjoy what Wolf-folk have to offer.
